Description of Related Art

Disposable gloves are used in various applications by various users. Disposable latex gloves are commonly used in food preparation and in healthcare facilities to avoid the transmission of germs, bacteria and to prevent infections. These types of gloves are normally used only once and disposed thereof. The gloves as stated are primarily used for sanitary reasons and to prevent the transmission of germs onto food or patients. Presently the gloves are typically dispensed through an open box or a small container that individuals reach into to grasp a pair of gloves. Occasionally this method can cross-contaminate other gloves within the box due to the individuals reaching in to grab a glove for use. It would therefore be advantageous to have an automated hands free dispenser that dispenses gloves through the use of a motion sensor in the opening. It's the object of the present invention to provide a dispenser such that the gloves are easily distributed in a sanitized manner further minimizing the exposure of germs and infection.
